lets just say the cake didnt make it out of the pan in one piece”

Wow – it must have been really yummy, if you couldn’t wait long enough to take the whole cake out of the pan. 🙂

Cooking is about learning how to take a disaster and trun it into something great.I once cooked chicken SO soft that it couldn’t be plated, it was falling apart. I pulled it apart, added some cooked vegetables and a little marinara sauce, and served it like a casserole.

With a chocolate cake that has crumbled, make it even more crumbled and use it to top ice cream, or layer it with vanilla ice cream to make a parfait. Much it like playdough and roll into balls, then roll in confectioner’s sugar, cocoa, chopped nuts or melted chocolate. Chill and voila – truffles!. It’s all about using what you have, even when it seems to be unsalvageable.
